Soulja Boy Talks New Album & Stepping Up His Lyrics

Soulja Boy isn't known for his lyrical talent but he says "If I wanted to, [I could] go that route and be respected [not for] my success … respected [for] my music and my lyrics or whatever." [watch here]

Although he isn't officially stepping up his game he did say that he put more emphasis on his wordplay while making his new street CD. "That's why I did the mixtape that I did," he said continuing, "I did a mixtape called Teen of the South with DJ Scream. And I did that just to step my game up a little bit on that [lyrical] side. But I wasn't really going into no album and just full-fledge trying to switch my swagger and try to get respect from The game >the game. 'Cause why would I show love to the game? The game don't show you love back. So I wasn't gonna do that and come back out and mess up my image and mess up myself. I was going on the strength that I want respect from people who probably don't like me anyway. So I'm gonna stick to what I do and stay being successful and I'll do some mixtapes and some futures, something like that." [watch here]

The first single from Soulja Boy's new album, iSouljaBoy, is expected soon. "Polow Da Don did the beat. That's all I'll say. Polow did the beat. I ain't saying who's featured on it or nothing like that. I'm just saying when it comes out. We ain't doing no leaks, we ain't doing nothing. When it comes out, straight video, straight radio, all in the same day." [watch here]
